Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership is developing a new Joint Strategic Plan (JSP) for 2026 to 2031 and we want to hear from you.

The consultation runs from 10 October to 7 December 2025.

This plan will guide how health and social care services are delivered across Argyll and Bute. We're asking communities, staff, carers, providers and partners to share their views and help shape the future of care.

How can you get involved? Join a local community conversation (see dates below) to:

  • share your views through our online questionnaire
  • ask us questions directly on our engagement hub
  • subscribe for updates and follow the journey

Our proposed priorities include:

  • preventative and community-based care
  • integrated and person-centred care
  • financial and system sustainability
  • healthy and engaged workforce
  • access and tackling health inequality
  • digital transformation

 Your feedback will help us to:

  • understand what matters most in your area
  • identify risks and opportunities
  • finalise the plan and report to the Integration Joint Board in March 2026

You can subscribe to receive updates on the consultation outcomes and final decisions - stay informed on our NHS Highland Engagement Hub project.
